What this amendment would do

This amendment would add a point of order, which is a procedural rule used to object to a bill, to the existing budget resolution.

The rule would prevent the Senate from considering any bill, joint resolution, motion, amendment, amendment between the Houses, or conference report that funds the deportation of children who are United States citizens.

The amendment states that this rule can only be waived or suspended by a vote of three-fifths of the Senate members.

Additionally, a three-fifths vote of the Senate members would be required to uphold an appeal of the ruling made by the Chair regarding this rule.
